					<h1 class="page_head" style=" color: #B31B1B; font-size: 18px;">History of the Marist Library</h1>
					<br>
					<br>
					<p align = "left" style=" color: #B31B1B; font-size: 18px; margin-left: -242px;">Greystone</p>
					<br />
					<br />
					
					<p style="margin-top: 35px;">The Marist College Library was originally housed on the top floor of <em>Greystone</em> in 1928. 
					   In 1945, reference, periodical and work areas took over the second floor as well, and then in 1949, 
					   the Library also claimed <em>Greystone's</em> lowest level. The Library remained in Greystone for 35 years.
					   </p>
					<br /> 
					<p align = "left" style=" color: #B31B1B; font-size: 18px;">Donnelly Hall</p>
					
					<p>The burgeoning library moved from <em>Greystone</em> to <em>Donnelly Hall</em> in 1963. In the space now occupied 
						by the <em>Computer Center</em> and <em>DN256</em>, Donnelly Hall housed what was known as the <em>Spellman Library</em> for 
						the next 12 years. 
					   </p>
					<br />   
					<p align = "left" style=" color: #B31B1B; font-size: 18px;">Fontaine Hall</p>
					
					<p>The Library moved from <em>Donnelly</em> to <em>Fontaine Hall</em> in 1975. It remained there until 1998, when the 
						library moved temporarily across Route 9 to the former Poughkeepsie Steel Plant, purchased by Marist College 
						to house the Library while the new <em>James A. Cannavino Library</em> was constructed.
					   </p>
					<br />  
					<p align = "left" style=" color: #B31B1B; font-size: 18px;">James A. Cannavino Library</p>
					
					<p>Dedicated on May 6th, 2000, the 83,000 square-foot James A. Cannavino Library is <a href="http://search.proquest.com/docview/431311874">drawing notice</a> throughout 
						the country for its classical design and 21st-century technology. The three-story structure overlooks the 
						campus green and Hudson River on the west, and<em>&ldquo; Heritage Plaza ,&rdquo;</em> which connects historic 19th-century buildings 
						and the college chapel, on the east.
						<br />
						<br />
						This landmark facility showcases IBM digital library technology, allowing Marist students and faculty to access material 
						stored on the college's powerful IBM z/900 mainframe as well as online sources of information from around the world.
						<br />
						<br />
						The $25 million library houses book stacks and archives on its ground floor ; research materials, periodicals and an 
						"e-scriptorium" on its main floor ; and a Center for Collaborative Learning on its top floor . The <em>Cannavino Library</em> offers 
						more ports-per-student than any other college or university library in the United States . At any of the 860 seats - ranging 
						from individual study carrels to soft-cushioned easy chairs overlooking the Hudson River - students and faculty can plug in 
						their laptops and connect to sources of information on campus and across the globe. Don't own a laptop? IBM ThinkPads&reg; are 
						available for loan at the circulation desk. Collaborative study rooms allow group discussions on projects while quiet study 
						areas offer scenic vistas to go with tranquil settings in which to read.
						<br />
						<br />
						Academic support functions ranging from a writing center to language labs and multimedia classrooms are just some of the features 
						that serve as a laboratory for learning on the library's top floor. An executive presentation room provides a corporate board of 
						directors' setting, complete with the latest presentation technology offerings.
						<br />
						<br />
						The Cannavino Library's two-story atrium entrance also features a coffee bar and is a popular gathering space for students, faculty and staff.
						<br />
						<br />
						The Library is named for James A. Cannavino, a long-time member of the Marist Board of Trustees and one of the country's leading technology 
						visionaries.
